Chapter 7: Light
"In October, before the age of 23, my world could be said to be gray, but since you appeared in front of my eyes, I have decided that you are the person I cherish the most for the rest of my life."
The sudden confession made Ann October stunned in place, she didn't know how to describe this feeling, people who have always been deep and introverted in life and work, like the snow of Mount Kilimanjaro falling down in an instant, the whole world was noisy and quiet, so that she was petrified, and she didn't know how to respond.
She wanted to return the large cluster of roses to Shangguan He, as if this would save their relationship as a teacher and friend, but she was so panicked that when she stretched her wrist forward, she happened to knock over the Yuhua cup on the table.
Orange juice sprinkled like paint on her pale pink one-shoulder dress, and a large patch spread like flowers.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."
Shangguan He wanted to get up and join her, but under the execution of her deserted escape, he wrung his palms and sat down uneasily.
The lights in the corridor were dim, and occasionally there was the sound of music in the box, and An October was flustered, and his red high heels stepped on the ground, like knocking out a black elf floating in the dark night.
Before the door could close, a force squeezed in from the outside.
Yan Xiao's dark eyes seemed to hide a cunning fox, and his eyes were full of frivolity, looking at her unscrupulously.
"How did you get in?"
Ann's hands trembled uncontrollably.
"October, are you in there?"
Yan Xiao's gloomy eyes seemed to sink into the ocean, pinching her wrists, and her thin lips wrapped around them......
After a long time, there was no sound outside.
"October? Are you okay? How did you go for so long? ”
No wonder Shangguan He was worried, An October came out of the bathroom, the bun on her head was loose, it turned into long hair, lying on her shoulders softly, and her lipstick was spent, she didn't bring her hands to wrap it in, and she couldn't make up for it at all.
In Shangguan He's star-like eyes, the explicit sadness can't deceive people.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows what this means, he doesn't dare to say anything about what he likes just now, and the people he likes have nothing to fear, from An October's trance just now, he has already guessed something.
Just now he went to knock on the bathroom door and vaguely heard some movement, she should have heard it, why didn't there be an echo?
He didn't want to force his beloved to leave the embarrassment to her and to himself.
"October, you can't get me wrong, do you?" Shangguan He's motivation to change his face was really clumsy, but she couldn't bear to expose it, and she didn't want to live up to his good intentions.
More importantly, how can such a good man match with her life covered with sludge?
"My mother always urged me to go on a blind date in Australia, blame me for not making it clear, I want to rehearse it in advance, I scared you just now, right?"
An October tried hard to pull the corners of his lower lip, listening to him lie as hard as he could, "Fortunately, she and I are childhood sweethearts, naughty and clever, and they will definitely not be the same as you." ”
Shangguan He said as usual, suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at his watch, and saw the sunshine falling outside the window, and couldn't help but be annoyed, "It's too late, I have to go to the company for a meeting tonight, I'll go first, you take a taxi back by yourself, pay attention to safety." ”
He fled with a swift footstep, as if he were hiding from a flood beast.
Ann tried to bend the corner of her lower lip.
She is willing to degenerate, and now she can't even raise her head in front of the teacher who likes her, right?
She smiled bitterly, simply broke the jar, and even ate the leftovers on the table in embarrassment.
However, a few hours later, when the moon was full, the rain swept up at some point, and sprinkled a bead of water on the car.
She hurriedly got into the car, only to find that the car keys were open, and there was a person sitting in the co-pilot, tilting his head, breathing evenly, and the gray red light on the dial illuminated his handsome silhouette.
There was a long silence.
"Why don't you drive? Have something to tell me? ”
An October pursed her lips, her face was expressionless, and she only felt that her eyes were sour and hot.
"I advise you not to say anything about parting ways with me in advance, just now I bumped into Teacher Shangguan, he asked me what my relationship with you is, I told him."
An October didn't laugh angrily, and the tails of his eyes seemed to be blushing, "Yan Xiao, you always tease me like this, it's funny?" ”
Yan Xiao regarded her as something in the palm of her hand, playing with her wantonly, but she refused to give half of her sincerity, and the reason why she lived a "chic" life was precisely because she "didn't love" him.
He was stunned for a moment, and then a deep wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows, revealing a bottomless smile like a dark sea, "When you are bored, it is indeed fun." ”
An October drove the car all the way fast, she learned her driver's license in Australia three years ago, but she was guided by a handsome guy from her country, tall and long-legged, narrow waist and broad shoulders, but he always wore a mask, and he was dedicated to maintaining a sense of mystery during dog days.
Worthy of the coach's careful teaching, she was skilled, and even in the night when the traffic was busy, she still ran around the Hengjiang River twice with ease.
Until, Yan Xiao woke up in a deep sleep, and his eyes flashed with a faint green light.
